HEALTH OPTIMIZATION EXPERIENCES
Real Time Data for Real Life Wellness
DW Health Optimization Experiences provide you with the personalized data and recommendations you need to take your health to the next level.
METABOLIC HEALTH EXPERIENCE
What is metabolic health and why does it matter?
Metabolic health is the combination of your blood sugar levels, waist circumference, blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides. In this transformative experience we focus on glucose levels (aka blood sugar levels).
In the short term, high levels of glucose in your blood can make you feel hungry and crave sugar; preventing you from losing weight, affecting your energy levels and sleep, and impacting your memory and focus. In the long term, having high levels of glucose can place you at risk for chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
What is the experience and how does it benefit me?
Under the guidance of a physician and wellness and nutrition coach, you will wear a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) for two weeks to learn how your food and lifestyle choices affect your body.
A CGM is a medical device you wear on your arm that measures your blood glucose (sugar) levels 24/7. Individuals just starting out on their health journeys, recreational athletes, and even professional athletes are using CGM data to optimize their performance in life, work, and on the field!
Did you know?
-
Just 1 in 8 Americans have optimal metabolic health.
-
Poor metabolic health means you have a higher chance of developing diabetes, heart disease, or stroke.
-
The good news is, you can improve your metabolic health through diet, exercise, sleep and stress reduction.
BODY COMPOSITION EXPERIENCE
Why does Body Composition matter?
When you step on a scale it tells you how much you weigh, but it does not reveal your lean body mass and bone health. Recent scientific literature has revealed that lean body mass, body fat percentage, and bone health are three of the most important predictors of how long you will live.
Did you know?
-
Despite being a healthy weight, high body fat percentage can lead to metabolic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
-
Starting at the age of 30 (unless you perform resistance training regularly), you will lose 3-8% of your muscle mass per decade which leads to difficulty performing daily activities or sports, slower walking speeds, and increased risk of falls.
-
Most women don’t realize they have osteoporosis until they sustain a bone fracture.
-
It’s never too late (or too early) to build muscle and bone!
What is the experience and how does it benefit me?
You will first receive a DXA scan from one of our partnered locations. A DXA scan is a quick and accurate method to measure lean body mass, body fat percentage, and bone mineral density. Based on the data we will:
-
create the most optimal nutrition plan for your body.
-
recommend a personalized resistance and cardio training routine to maintain or improve your lean body mass and body fat percentage.
-
recommend a strategy to improve or maintain your bone health.
